i had the opportunity a week and a half ago or so to be at the george bush library for a naturalization ceremony when president bush also talked about the benefits of immigration reform. and being at the naturalization ceremony reminded me that there's a thing that's unique about this country, which is that you don't become an american by virtue of your race or ethnicity. you become an american by virtue of your willingness to buy into certain kinds of principles, certain kinds of notions of liberty, of equality, of citizenship. and that is fundamentally what's protected by making sure that citizenship is an important part of the immigration reform. this, i think, is something that we have to be insistent on as part of what comes out of the immigrationing reform process. immigration reform process. >> thank you very much. mr. vargas, you -- on panel you're the person who can make this come to life because you're in the situation of being not just a legal permanent resident hoping to have citizenship, you actually are an undocumented worker and resident of the united states. tell us abou
